Northlanders #10

The second and final chapter of "Lindisfarne" arrives with a cover by Massimo Carnevale that puts you right in the prow of a Viking longship — a helmeted, axe-wielding warrior surges forward across choppy grey seas, while in the distance a clifftop fortress burns against a pale sky. Brian Wood's Viking saga, rendered interiorly by the full art talents of Dean Ormston, has been one of Vertigo's most compelling historical series of 2008, and this closing installment promises the same unflinching intensity the arc has delivered from the start.
